AO3 Guides, Tutorials, and Links

• AO3 FAQ: How do I post audio content, such as a podfic or playlist?

If you don't want to use a site's embed code, or it's not hosted on a permitted site, you can host the file in MP3 format on any external site and then use the HTML <audio> tag to embed the file in your work. [Click the above link for more.]

• “Podfic Posting Guide” by Shmaylor

One chapter. Takes you through filling out the fields while uploading a new work with podfic specific notes.

Tags not to use:

- "Podfic Available"  This tag is used on text works to indicate that there is a podfic version of that text. It doesn't belong on the podfic itself.

-  "Podfics & Podficced Works"  This is the parent tag for all podfic related tags. You should specifically use  "Podfics" when uploading a podfic.

“Podfic Export Options” by ~godoflaundrybaskets. Posted on 3 June 2020.

Overview of file types, stereo versus mono (usually mono), and compression (Constant bit rate, various kbps examples).

[Some opinions on kbps numbers will vary on including sound effects; 32 kbps for just reading, 64 kbps for music and “non-integral” SFX (some also use 96 kbps here), or 128 kbps for “extensive and integral” SFX (some also use 96 kbps here).]
